Acoustic Design of Schools
Many studies have shown how important acoustic design and treatment is for effective learning in schools.
BB93: Acoustic Design of Schools - Performance Standards provides a clear methodology for the design process, in terms of architectural acoustics in schools. BB93 offers guidelines and standards in the form of acceptable reverberation times and ambient noise levels within rooms, and this forms the basis for carrying out acoustic calculations and designing to the required standards. We provide assessments of schools in line with BB93 and provide advice on how to meet the requirements if necessary.
